Where in the world have you lived and traveled? Where might you feel comfortable leading a group? Students will expect you to have a certain level of expertise at your program site. Remember that you don't have to lead a program abroad.
What sites relate best to your discipline area? What sites might appeal to students? Remember that students may be less interested in the courses or area of study than they are in the site. But don't force a fit; the site and the course material should logically connect.
Where do you have professional contacts? For example, perhaps you know of a host institution where you could hold classes, or you know a person who could help with on-site arrangements.
Where does the University have an infrastructure or contacts? If you have traveled very little and have few or no leads of your own, you may want to consider building on what UD already has. We have resident directors in London, Paris, Granada, Costa Rica, Bayreuth, and Siena, but we also have contacts.
Where is the University under-represented? Broadly-speaking, we are under-represented in South America, Asia, and Africa. We strongly encourage faculty with ties and expertise in these areas to develop new programs.
